Rally Leads the Largest and Most Successful Enterprise Agile Transformations

At a very fundamental level, going to Agile is so rewarding to the team because the collaboration and the work they do together ultimately creates a better product. The outcome of that is that the team feels very engaged and very fulfilled as they do product development that way.

We can definitively show where projects stand, and map these to the overarching strategic initiatives. It allows us to bridge the gap from what we’re doing at the execution level to what value we’re delivering to the business.

Telstra has integrated Rally with automated deployment tools to complete their entire ALM cycle. If the code isn't attached to a story and a feature [in Rally], it's simply not deploying... And Rally is particularly valuable in capturing the velocity of the entire Release Train, in realtime.

With Rally® Insights™ [capabilities], we uncovered the performance costs of unstable teams … and are seeing 30 - 50% improvements in both cost and delivery duration compared to similar waterfall projects.

Secure. Traceable. Scalable. Government agencies, contractors and subcontractors are incorporating Agile methods into their projects. Moving from waterfall to Agile methods aims to improve manageability, reduce risk, and support rapid delivery of workable solutions. In fact, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified 32 effective practices and approaches for applying Agile software development methods to IT projects.

Agile software development methods have proven their worth in healthcare settings, delivering faster time-to-market, increased productivity, higher quality and improved morale. In order to achieve the next level of product quality and safety improvements and enhanced competitiveness, adoption of a more Agile approach is required.

Medical, pharmaceutical, defense and other industries that must comply with strict regulatory guidelines use Agile and Rally to ensure they are delivering high assurance software efficiently and transparently.
